One of the biggest storylines surrounding the USC Trojans basketball team is the fate of freshman guard Bronny James. James has a big decision to make regarding his future in college basketball or his pursuit of the NBA.
Many have speculated about whether he should leave college, despite a lackluster freshman season. But the appeal of the NBA could be very hard to pass up.
Recently, a group of NBA executives discussed what they believe James should do next season. As of right now, many around the league are expecting James to forgo his sophomore season at USC and enter the league.
“I think everyone is preparing for him to go in the draft, and I’m dead serious — I think a lot of teams will take the stance that they’ll draft him if there’s a 1% chance LeBron will join them. So, I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t enter. Will he stay in, I don’t know.”

If James does enter the NBA, it would be one of the more talked-about stories. With his dad being NBA legend, LeBron James, the hype around him is as high as it ever will be.
Bronny has been talked about in NBA circles for years, with many teams believing that if they were to draft him, they could get a chance to land his father also. It may not be fair to his son, but LeBron looms large over his NBA decision.
However, the decision to enter the NBA needs to be his alone. Only he knows what is best for him, so it’ll be interesting to see what he ultimately decides in short order.
